Some side on views would help but I think:

A - without side view no idea, but looks artillery rather than AT

B - Pak 40.

C - 105mm or 150mm artillery gun.

D - Pak 35/36 37mm AT gun.

Hope this helps?

A - probably 7.62cm PaK 36 (r). Aka Ratsch-Bum.

BCD Agree with Steve.

The stuff on wedge shaped bases is skytrex so a look at their listings might help with ID? The big one nearest camera looks like Russian 122/152mm?

A looks like a 5cm Pak 38 to me.

I vote for 5cm PAK and 105mm artillery, too.

The gun shield looks too flat for a Pak-38. It looks more like the ZiS-3:

I had some of those Skytrex on triangular bases in a box of generic Russian stuff - had assumed it was a Sov arty piece of some sort but hadn't checked further as haven't got to using them yet Grin

Yes, it does look more like a Zis-3 than a PaK 36. It's not a Pak 38, that has a curved shield with a flange.

Still, any captured M42 (Zis-3) guns were also used as an anti-tank gun by the Germans.

Thanks for all of this, they will be pak guns, I've no call yet for Red Army guns, and at 1/300 scale a little plier work can make them look like whatever I want!

The big gun at the green base could be a russian 122mm howitzer.
The german army made extensive use of captured russian guns.
My dad was artillerist at a navy costal battery at Atlantic Wall and he told me that they always had captured ordonance (russian or czech origin).
The little gun could be a russian 75mm "Regimental Gun"Wink. The barrel was shorter than the 45mm at gun but on same carriage.
The two at-guns are left a 7,62 "Ratschbumm" and the other a german 75mm pak. The 50mm pak looks nearly the same. But I would say it is the bigger 75mm.

Thanks Kalle, I never thought about how much weaponry the Germans would have seized from other countries! Spoils of war!
